We owe a big tip of the hat to Pat's Posse, a great group of about 20 volunteers who were on hand at the Dirty Half Marathon last month. You guys had such infectious energy and your t-shirts were awesome too!

Pat's Posse is a group of family and friends who joined together in memory of Patrick Hughes. Pat was an avid outdoorsman and spent many happy hours hiking the beautiful trails in Central Oregon.

We deeply appreciate the support of the Hughes family and we loved having them at the Dirty Half. Thank you, Pat's Posse!
